This is not the same at the commercial EPM and It is NOT supported by FreePBX or Sangoma Technologies inc. If you are looking for a Commercially supported endpoint manager please look into the Commercial Endpoint Manager by Sangoma Technologies inc

I have found the OSS End Point Manager itself to be generations old, and Polycom support hasn't been updated for a year and a half. I would love to know if support will ever begin again for the module, as it certainly adds some value to the distro. This does make a very good argument for purchasing the Schmooze commercial manager however, which also contributes to supporting the project. I am going to begin using the commercial module on my next build.

I have used the OSS endpoint manager with customer customisations now for many years for SNOM handsets. I have implemented new devices, fields and features through the GUI, and sorted some of the 3xx & 7xx issues out. In my opinion, the SNOM is above the Polycom in programming capability and real world implementation. The Level 1 guy can quickly address programming requirements through different templates. My sites all use dialplans correctly setup, arising colleagues comments oh that voip system works like a real phone system... well drrr yes why shouldnt it.. Most work is customised per customer with drop down menu selections instead of data fields as have found less troublesome with the level 1 guys.

To their credit, the Schmoozecom commercial module works great for a basic install and is where ALL installers/admins should start. If it works as you need - fine, your set. However its limited when you move into power programming mode when needing to use more of the complex XML programming on the snoms.

Keen to implement the realtime XML via SIP programming of handsets that doesn't mean a device reboot in the future. This is especially the case with the new D7 expansion unit is now out and add/moves/changes occur often in a large deployment.

I've tested the Endpoint Manager from Schmooze, and OSS Endpoint Manager. For Polycom phones at least, I find OSS a lot better and easier to use. The advanced template editing capabilities are also much better than the Endpoint Manager. Keep up the great work people that are doing the OSS Endpoint Manager!

EPM commercial is only supported to Freepbx Distro. I use a mannually installed Freepbx... Will it works? I was almost buying when see this info...

Trying OSS EPM... and Yealink W52 is not covered ... Any chance to have this model included? I tried to clone another Yealink... but W52 has "accounts" like lines, and other differences in the file estructure..

I've switched our systems over to Commercial Endpoint Managers, and it works without any issues for Polycom Phones. I would now recommend it over OSS Endpoint Manager since the commercial one is officially supported by Schmooze.

A few notes about the commercial one: I find the configuration and interface is not as nice as OSS. Not as intuitive for configuration. Another thing I liked about OSS was it shows the phone's online status, which is really helpful when you are trying to provision a phone remotely.

The Grandstream GXP2130 support seems to be broken. FreePBX throws and exception when you attempt to make any changes to an extension. Hey tededwards, I see you added the Grandstream support. The error seems to be in a php module provided in the provisioning.net files.

I did not add the GXP2130 support to the distributed module (github). I do, however, have a Grandstream brand package that can be imported (Advanced Settings) that adds support for the 2130, 2140, 2160 and 2200. I know it works as I use it regularly. Let me know if you want it, I'll email it to you.

I don't know what you mean by "distro" but I'm running FreePBX 13.0.73 through RasPBX. The file image of RasPBX I used was raspbx-25-01-2016.img. The module admin screen says I am using OSS Endpoint Manager 13.0.6.2. I installed it from a tarball on GitHub.

Upgrade was automatic through the GUI. However something was broken in the upgrade. When I went to edit and extension through Applications | Extensions I got the error:

Can't load endpoint manager database

Maybe a reinstall of the module would work. But at this point I have figured out how to use Grandstream's XML configuration tools. I only have six or so phones to configure so I think this is the route I am going to go. Thank you for your help.
